Email me when a practice near me starts taking NHS patients

Free: one email a day, up to 3 alerts. The Instant Pass (£9.99 for 90 days) emails you as soon as our check (about once an hour) sees a practice open up.

How we count

  • Started taking = a practice's status on the NHS website's Find a dentist service changed from not taking to taking new NHS patients (adults, adults entitled to free care, or children) between two of our reads, in the last 7 days, and it still says so at our latest read. We read every practice in England about once an hour and started on 30 Oct 2026.
  • Practices that started and then stopped again within the week aren't listed. Practices update their status themselves, so it can be weeks old: always phone first.
  • Free to use: please credit "Dentist Radar, from NHS website data" and link to https://dentistradar.app/nhs-dentist-access/this-week. Information from the NHS website, Open Government Licence v3.0.
